4. It would have been impossible for me to have told anyone what I derived

should remain an active and energetic member of the European Community.

7. I have a friend who is earning around 100 thousand dollars a year in a

computer software company. He told me that, from his own experience, those who can decide whether an applicant could be employed prefer people who are well prepared.

8. He was puzzled that I did not want what was obviously a “step up” toward

what all Americans are thought to want when they grow up-- money and power.

9. Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for

delight is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment and disposition of business.

10. Time is like a sharp knife when it is misused, it can carve hard lines on

beautiful faces and wear out blooming youth month by month, year by year but, well used it can mold a piece of simple stone into a magnificent statue.

13. The Shanghai World Expo would be "the most splendid and unforgettable"

and would help the world better understand the present, have a glimpse into the future and strengthen cooperation between countries and organizations.

16. True, not everyone sees me as you saw me or even as I see myself; but deep

down inside I have that marvelous feeling that comes from being an

integrated whole person, not afraid of being just what I am.

commissioning, maintenance and servicing of the complete plant, which shall include operation manual for each and every individual piece of mechanical and electrical equipment.

23. Electricity is such a part of our everyday lives and so much taken for granted nowadays that we rarely think twice when we switch on the light or turn on the radio.

24. For a family of four, for example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home, with almost unlimited entertainment available, than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere.

25. Histories make men wise; poets, witty; mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend. Nay, there is no impediment in the wit, but may be wrought out by fit studies.

22、昨天已成歷史，明天仍然是個(gè)謎，而今天是個(gè)禮物，這就是為什么它被稱之為“金

日”。

23、電在我們的日常生活中所占的地位是如此重要, 而且現(xiàn)在人們認(rèn)為電是想當(dāng)然的事,

所以我們?cè)陂_(kāi)電燈或開(kāi)收音機(jī)時(shí), 就很少再去想一想電是怎么來(lái)的

30、如果一個(gè)民族不能自由的決定其政治地位，不能自由地保證其經(jīng)濟(jì)、社會(huì)和文化

的發(fā)展，要享受其基本權(quán)利，即使不是不可能，也是不容易的。這一論斷，幾乎是無(wú)可置辯的了。

31、我有個(gè)朋友在一家電腦軟件公司工作，年薪十萬(wàn)美元。他以自身經(jīng)歷告訴我，那

些在錄用員工方面有決定權(quán)的人更傾向于錄用有充分準(zhǔn)備的求職者。

32、如果作父母的對(duì)這種青少年的反應(yīng)有所準(zhǔn)備，而且認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)顯示出孩子正在

34、讀史使人明智，讀詩(shī)使人靈秀，數(shù)學(xué)使人周密，科學(xué)使人深刻，倫理學(xué)使人莊重，

邏輯修辭之學(xué)使人善辯；凡有所學(xué)，皆成性格。

35、乘坐伊麗莎白女王2號(hào)漂洋過(guò)海，雖耗費(fèi)時(shí)日，但度假休閑自此開(kāi)始。當(dāng)您到達(dá)

目的地時(shí)，您會(huì)像剛出發(fā)那樣，絲毫不覺(jué)旅途勞頓。當(dāng)您到達(dá)目的地時(shí)，您應(yīng)該是：精神煥發(fā)，有了新友，還大增了見(jiàn)聞。

36、飽經(jīng)風(fēng)霜的古老鐘樓，仍將兀立在金色的陽(yáng)光中，發(fā)出在我聽(tīng)來(lái)是如此熟悉的鐘

聲。在那緩慢而莊嚴(yán)的鐘聲里，高矮不一、臉蛋兒或蒼白或紅潤(rùn)、有些身材豐滿、有些體形纖小的姑娘們，煥發(fā)著青春活力和朝氣，像小溪般涌入教堂。

37、我們很高興地說(shuō)，在貴我兩國(guó)之間簽訂了技術(shù)交流協(xié)定之后，我們兩國(guó)人民之間

的聯(lián)系更加密切，貿(mào)易前景比過(guò)去任何時(shí)候都更加光明。

38、在歷史早期，戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的道德性未遭到質(zhì)疑，它就像干旱或疾病那樣只是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的

事實(shí)—--是不同的部落或文明尋求權(quán)力或解決分歧的方式。

39、當(dāng)您按鈴叫喚服務(wù)員時(shí)，他們會(huì)隨叫隨到，就像訓(xùn)練有素的英國(guó)家仆，召之即來(lái)，

揮之即去。
